Red Squirrel

Ok.. lets go back a few years.. I know there are some of these still around in Cincinnati, but does anyone remember them (Red Squirrel) being anywhere else. They had the best deli sandwiches that I have ever had. The meat was mounded on the bread with cheese and whatever else you wanted. Any memories?

Boy, you had me there for a moment. When I saw Red Squirrel under sandwiches I thought it was going to be about red squirrel sandwiches. I'll admit I've never had a red squirrel sandwich, but I have used gray squirrel for sandwiches, and considering that red squirrels, or fox squirrels, taste the same as grays I was going to suggest that it would make for a fine sandwich. Oh, well.

you can get only get one good sized sammich from the average gray but a pot ful of the critters in milk gravy makes for good snackin while watchin the cheerleader competitions

A couple of squirrels cut up and fried, and served with gravy and mashed potatoes deserves better than cheerleading competition. I can see having roasted squirrel brain as a snack while watching such competitions, though.

startrooper00, I am very familiar with the Red Squirrel brand. I remember eating at one in downtown Cincinnati back in 1990 before a Reds game--the first game of the World Series and they beat the Oakland A's, ultimately winning the Series 4 games to 0!

Other than that, I have eaten at their Fairfield location a number of times, the most recent being September 2000.

The Red Squirrels are defintely NOT on the left Coast!Rex in VE San Diego

The red squirrels we've been talking about, which are really fox squirrels, Sciurus niger , do exist in California. There are introduced populations of this species in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana.
